Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

FandomFanatic21 Alex Strangelove, follows high school student Alex who has the perfect relationship with his long time girlfriend and is peer pressured to finally do the knitty-gritty with her, until he meets Elliott a guy he is sure is interested in him and suddenly he is confused on what he wants and who he is. The film is charming and let's just say a little more inappropriate than how I thought it would be. The film does focus on Alex and his struggle to figure out his sexuality and identity. Though, I don't think the film really touched on it quite as good as I thought they would. The movie did kind of drag and Elliot was hardly in the film, though the ending really made up for what felt like a long film. Really the ending was good and gave me that YASS moment. The acting was quite good and had the right amount of charm to please a crowd.Alex: "I'm sorry I was such a sh***y boyfriend." Claire: "No. No, you're the best gay boyfriend a girl could have." *they both laugh* Alex: "That's funny."-Alex and Claire, Alex Strangelove

rotem-rose It's a beautiful love story. Starts with a lot of comic pauses, like a tv shows for teens from the 90's, which I think is great because it reminded myself as a teen. But as the story evolves, the movie gets serious and the scenes get well played. It's a light movie so don't expect some heavy melodrama. I loved watching it with my friends and of course, get a tear of happiness in the end.

Red_Identity The film was cute and it was very genuine in how it portrayed teenage confusion over sexuality, but the biggest surprise was Madeline Weinstein. Usually the role of the girlfriend in this kind of story would be a secondary one, a small role without much depth, but I really appreciated that the main love story of this film turned out to be that of the lead guy and his best friend. Weinstein was perfect here. There were so many shades to her character and I felt like she was the most heartbreaking during the emotional parts of the film. She was in last year's Beach Rats and now she's proven she has endless amounts of charisma. I hope we see her in more things.

travisbruce-48759 What I thought would just be a "Love, Simon" cruddy knock off, turned out to be a grittier, little indie film in it's own right. Well acted, well directed. Over all, impressed with capturing gay teens in the 21st century. If John Hughes were around to make a gay teen angst rom com now, I think it would probably look something like this. (With better music, of course) ;)
